8. Terrorism, Human Rights, and The Case for World Government2006
(Published Posthumously)
Pojman begins with a description of the growing menace of non-state terrorism to people everywhere and distinguishes "old-style" from "new-style" terrorism. He examines the virtues and vices of nationalism, and compares them to the promises and problems of cosmopolitanism. He ultimately argues that enforceable international law - which will promote peace and curtail terrorism - requires that we endorse a form of "soft nationalism," a form of nationalism ultimately compatible with a limited, republican form of world government. Then, he addresses universal human rights, arguing against the notion that they are an ethnocentric product of Western culture, and provides an overall justification of human rights as correlative to moral duties. He concludes on a hopeful note, proposing a world government as an effective countermeasure, albeit ambitious and controversial, to terrorism and its causes. https://rowman.com/Action/Search/RLPG/Pojman,%20Terrorism,%20Human%20Rights

10. Who Are We? Theories of Human Nature 2005
Since the dawn of human history, people have exhibited wildly contradictory qualities: good and evil, love and hate, strength and weakness, kindness and cruelty, aggressiveness and pacifism, generosity and greed, courage and cowardice. Experiencing a sense of eternity in our hearts—but at the same time confined to temporal and spatial constraints—we seek to understand ourselves, both individually and as a species. What is our nature? What is this enigma that we call human? Who are we? This book seeks to find answers to these questions by exploring major theories in Western philosophy and religion, along with several traditions in Eastern thought. The most comprehensive work of its kind, the volume opens with chapters on the Hebrew/Christian view of human nature and the contrasting classical Greek theories, outlining a dichotomy between faith and reason that loosely frames the rest of the book. Following chapters cover the medieval view, Hindu and Buddhist perspectives, conservative and liberal theories, Kant's Copernican revolution, Schopenhauer's transcendental idealism, and Karl Marx's theory. Freud's psychoanalytic view, the existentialist perspective, the Darwinian view, and scientific-materialism are also discussed. It concludes with a discussion of the question of free will, ultimately asserting that each one of us must decide for ourselves who and what we are and, based on our answer, how we shall live.
